Therefore, I can’t help but have back to school on the brain. I mean we just enjoyed making Bookworms Bookmarks for a fun and easy craft to commemorate the season. So, we got crafting covered.

But I thought we needed another equally fun back to school dessert treat recipe. Don’t get me wrong, our back to school pretzel mix was a hit.

My kids also enjoy sweet treats. They especially love cookies and cupcakes. I mean who doesn’t?!

Because they do love cupcakes, I couldn’t resist making a new cupcake recipe just in time for back to school.

This recipe uses vanilla iced cupcakes. You could use store bought cupcakes or bake your own. Once the cupcakes are iced though, the fun begins.

Now, we are ready to decorate our cupcakes. We are making ruler cupcakes. Do you get and love it?!

To make our rulers, we used vanilla sugar wafers. With a piping bag and tip, then we piped chocolate frosting on the vanilla wafers to make the ruler line.

And there you have it! Wasn’t that simple? Look how pretty they look.

    The girls are so pretty and they look so grownup! And did you really make those cupcakes???? I am extremely impressed (and so not worthy!)!

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 6:54 am

      Aw, thanks Allie and yes I love making cupcakes. So any time I can get the chance I try my best to do so 🙂

  10. Allison Smith says

    September 7, 2018 at 6:21 am

    I’m trying this for the third time. I’m sure it’s user error…
    You girls are so pretty, and so grown up. Did you really make those cupcakes? Cause they’re pretty awesome. And I am very impressed!

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 6:55 am

      Allie, sorry you were having trouble. On my end, I saw this comment and the one I just commented on, as well. So, hoping this was just a glitch for you though.

    Well first of all I love wafer cookies. I wish I had I had a classroom to make these for. They are so cute.

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 6:55 am

      I am with you and love vanilla wafer cookies. As for the classroom, I did have one in the past. But now just happy making for my own kiddos 🙂

  12. Debi says

    September 7, 2018 at 11:08 am

    Adorbs! (I admit I’d just steal the wafer cookies to eat on their own.)

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 2:46 pm

      Thanks Debi and I know those wafer cookies are truly tempting all on their own 🙂

  13. Kristi says

    September 7, 2018 at 1:09 pm

    Cute idea! Love creative yet simple projects!

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 2:47 pm

      Aw, thanks so much Kristi! 🙂

    September 7, 2018 at 8:38 pm

    I saw more than the usual amount of wafer cookies at the store the other day. Maybe people are making these cute cupcakes.
    The bowl of pretzel mix looks so good right now.

    I enjoy seeing your girls doing so many things together.

    • Janine says

      September 7, 2018 at 9:08 pm

      Aw, thanks Pat and would love that possibility 🙂

  15. Christine Carter says

    September 9, 2018 at 12:09 pm

    OMG those are ADORABLE, Janine!

    Brilliant and creative and they look delicious! I even think I can pull off this recipe! 🙂

    • Janine says

      September 9, 2018 at 1:32 pm

      Aw, yay and hope you can make these fun cupcakes soon, too 🙂

  16. Seana Turner says

    September 10, 2018 at 9:10 am

    Oh, I just love these. I always baked “first day of school” cakes… one year I even did a ruler! I think children remember these kinds of things when they grow up. “Remember that year you made the ruler cupcakes?” they will say. So much fun:)

  17. Julie Clarke says

    September 10, 2018 at 12:06 pm

    They look amazing and what a great idea. Love your photos

    • Janine says

    What a cute idea. They’re perfect for a school party. Your girls are adorable. Are they wearing JoJo Bows? My granddaughter would love them. Thanks for sharing on Sunday’s Best.

    • Janine says

      September 15, 2018 at 5:23 pm

      Thank you so much, Rhonda and yes my girls are wearing JoJo Siwa bows as they just love her bows 🙂
